1903 – FIRST SILENT MOVIE: THE GREAT TRAIN ROBBERY
[01] Produced by Thomas Edison, but directed and filmed by Edison company employee Edwin S. Porter, the
[02] 12-minute-long silent film, The Great Train Robbery (1903) was the first narrative movie, that is, one that told a story.
[03] The Great Train Robbery’s popularity influenced directly the opening up of permanent movie theaters and the
[04] possibility of a future film industry.
[05] The Great Train Robbery is a classic Western with four bandits who rob a train and its passengers of their
[06] valuables and then make their grand escape only to be killed ∈a shootout by a group of people sent after them.
[07] Interestingly, the film does not spare on violence as there are both several shootouts and one man being hit with
[08] a piece of coal. Surprising to many audience members was the special effect of throwing the man who was hit over the
[09] side of the train (a dummy was used).
[10] Also first seen ∈ The Great Train Robbery was a character forcing a man to dance by shooting at his feet – a
[11] scene that has often been repeated ∈ later Westerns. To the audience's fear and then delight, there was a scene ∈
[12] which the leader of the outlaws looks directly at the audience and fires his pistol at them (This scene appeared either
[13] at the beginning or at the end of the film, a decision \left up to the operator).
[14] The Great Train Robbery not only was the first narrative film, it also introduced several new editing techniques.
[15] For example, rather than staying on one set, Porter took his crew to ten different locations, including Edison’s New
[16] York studio, Essex County Park ∈New Jersey, and along the Lackawanna railroad. Also, unlike other film attempts
[17] which kept a stable camera position, Porter included a scene ∈ which he moved the camera from one side to the other
[18] to follow the characters as they ran across a creek and into the trees to fetch their horses. However, the most
[19] innovative editing technique introduced ∈ The Great Train Robbery was the inclusion of crosscutting. Crosscutting is
[20] when the film cuts between two different scenes that are happening at the same time.
[21] The Great Train Robbery was hugely popular with audiences. The approximately twelve minutes of film that
[22] starred Gilbert M. "Broncho Billy" Anderson was played across the country ∈1904 and then played ∈ the first
[23] nickelodeons (theaters ∈ which movies cost a nickel to see)∈1905.
